So, a bunch of people thought Your Old Droog was actually Nas when the unknown rapper dropped his mixtape online earlier this summer. There weren’t any pictures or video of the neophyte, and there were similarities in the sonics, so conspiracy theories abounded. And then he dropped a video a little over a week ago, which basically put those rumors to rest.
But for anyone still doubting, the undeniable truth came to light on Wednesday night, when the Coney Island native performed his first show, at Webster Hall in New York City.
As you can see in the video above, the up-and-comer performed cuts from his recent release to the sold out crowd. Included in that group of fans, according to The New York Times, was MSNBC host Tamron Hall — whom Droog named a song after.
He also addressed those Nas comparisons.
“There was so many dope f–kin’ rappers out there,” he said of years past. “Now, it’s so much trash, some dope sh– come out, it’s like, ‘Yo, it can’t be dope on it’s own; somebody else did it.”
He wasn’t upset with the kind of chatter the theories generated, though. “Good lookin’, though,” he said. “Y’all my street team.”
